WMI Filtering

I have a mix of XP and windows 7 machines in my domain. I have a screensaver (the same) for both the XP machines and Windows 7 machines it's using generic accounts to log in - the same account for both windows 7 and XP. Obviously the exe is different for both machines so I created a wmi filter for windows 7 and for XP (this is the filter for windows 7 - - Select * from Win32_operatingSystem where Verions Like "6.1%" and ProductType="1")
This is the filter for XP (select * from Win32_OperatingSystem where Version like "5.1.%"). This issue is some of my Windows 7 machines the policy is being denied it says False WMI filter for both XP and Windows 7. Can this be corrected? Lastly this is a wireless machine. I thought that was the issue however the machine is picking up the other GPO's.

When I ran Group Policy Results from GPM I got that error that the WRMS SSMYPICSWIN7 which is the GPO with the WMI filter was False WMI Filter it was denied. When I ran gpresult /H C:\gpresult.html its denied there too.

Can you post the gpresult.html file here please, or give us the full error text, as I don't recognize the error you've posted. A "false wmi filter" result just means the WMI Filter evaluated to false for the machine in question, rather than being an error in itself.

This implies you were running the gpresult on an XP machine (is that right?) which doesn't have access to the SSMYPICXP policy - it doesn't apply the WIN7 policy because the machine failed the WMI Filter (either 'cos the filter's not working properly or because the machine isn't Win7), and is unable to access the XP Policy due to security settings.
Are you sure you haven't maybe got the filters the wrong way round such that the security filtering on the group policy object doesn't match the WMI filter that's being used to select targets for it?

The Machine in question is a Windows 7 machine. I have 2 Policies one for XP and one for Windows 7 however, the user accounts are the same because we use generic accounts so I used the WMI filter so distinguish between the XP machines and the Win 7 machines. I thought that was the purpose of the WMI filter to distinguish between OS, hardware etc? Its working on some machines but not on all.

I hope this helps those who have been battling the SanDisk / U3 problem for a while.
